Posted September 20, 201113 yr who would have known! bwahahhahaha pot? paste? temps? nice work boss kenny!
September 20, 201113 yr Thanks! Otto Fatboy. Not running dry, but not brimmed with LN2 Gelid GC-Extreme, -170ishhhhh pot base. Over 2V the temps were....a bit of a challenge up to 1.90-1.95v pot base was around -174 I livestreamed this session and literally NO-ONE was watching...at ANY point I had 8232MHz (can be seen on Livestream) but it crashed during validation.
September 20, 201113 yr you should have tuned the SetFSB for smaller steps, this chip doesn't like when you change freq by more than 10MHz at one time still, nice to know that the validation is not corrupt
September 20, 201113 yr Author I would have watched if I would have known! I'm a k404 fan! duhh! no k404 benching notification option from hwbot
September 20, 201113 yr Well maybe if you let me know, I would have popped in and thrown some abuse at you Very well done mate Shame you didn't get the other validation. Would have taken you to bronze!!
September 20, 201113 yr Oh yea! I forgot.... I had SetFSB problems.... it would error out at any random point from 333 to 342.... so in "desperation" I booted at 333 and went to 342 in one go. I'd already seen 342FSB, I knew the CPU was good for it..... It was fine at the MHz, I just couldn't increase it any more (without reboot) Maybe if I rebenched I could get lucky and slowly increase to... something like 338 without error then jump to 343. I had 5L of LN2 to get this result, so couldn't mess around Thanks for the comments guys! LOl Honda.... ok..... if all goes to plan, i'm benching GTX580 on October 1st. Got a mate coming over to help pour coz it's eating a litre a minute Edited September 20, 201113 yr by K404
September 20, 201113 yr Congrats Kenny.! If you would have posted or linked, guys would have watched, no-one is telepathic.
September 20, 201113 yr Tune the clock generator settings in SetFSB so that you go by 0.4MHz FSB and do the switches real slow (once per 20-30s). Yes, it eats LN2 but that's just how this CPU works best. I can't remember having it past 8120MHz using >10MHz steps.
September 20, 201113 yr Congrats Kenny.!If you would have posted or linked, guys would have watched, no-one is telepathic. My netbook doesn't have the power to check so I didn't know for sure, but I figured there would be a "x broadcasting now" on HWB front page and at least *someone* would see who it was
